Batman and Bane battle it out in new Dark Knight Rises promo art

Probably not, but there's no question that the above piece of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES promo art - one of a handful recently released - brings to mind the frosty wasteland seen in Joel Schumacher's infamously awful BATMAN & ROBIN. I realize there's zero chance of Chris Nolan's movie even remotely approaching the agonizing hell that is B&R, but anything that conjures up memories of that turd sends shivers down my spine... ("Everybody chill!")

Below you'll find a few more promo images, which are a bit corny but that can be forgiven. After hearing how cool the footage shown at CinemaCon was, I reckon we're all safely in for another spectacular piece of cinematic greatness from Mr. Nolan and co.
